Fish Vandals on The Columbia.
Copyright, 1857, by tie California Associated Press
New YORK. August S0th.-iSpecial. l-Ex-sen-
ator Henry W. Corbett, of Oregon, now at the
Gilsey House. says the salmon catch in the Co
lumbia river this season probably will reach
100000 cases or 4,S90,0OO pounds. That is fully
20 per cent. below the usual amount and he
credits this falling off to the destruction of the
young fish by the use of the trap, which catches
all sizes. The trappers do net care. and Corbett
thinks the Government might well take a hand
especially as the Columbia river is the dividing
line between Oregon and Washington.

The Wheat Corners
PHILADELPHIA, August 3Oth-[Speeial THE
Press says; The California wheat deal seems
about being felt in Liverpool Attempting to
corner an article of food is a most dangerous
piece OF business to the cornerers themselves

not. 1t is encouraging that the Chicago and
san francisco corners have entailed large losses
on the promoters, but it is unfortunate that in
